Breezes of change in Bali
DENPASAR – PT Mountbatten Resorts Indonesia will assume management of the 133-room Contiki Resort Bali located in the Seminyak area of Bali’s Kuta Beach.
Bali Update (www.balidiscovery.com) reports that the new managers of the property have declared their intention to renovate and rebrand the resort, currently operated as an 18-35 year only 4-star resort.
Bisnis Indonesia reports that while hotels throughout Bali are running at 90 percent-plus occupancy levels, the Contiki Resort is only averaging 60 percent occupancy.
David Hosking, director of PT Mountbatten Resorts Indonesia, said the new resort would operate under the brand Breezes Resort and Spa.
The target market for the new hotel would be family oriented and aimed on the mid to high market segments. Certain to go is the current age restriction of 18-35 years.
The new management contract for the property was recently signed between Mountbatten Resorts Indonesia and the hotel’s owner, Made “Kadek” Wiranatha.
Plans are for the hotel to be re-launched under its new brand by November 2008.
